EBAY.CO.UK has reported a surge in sales of all things Sex and the City-related, as women everywhere prepare for the sequel's launch next week. Over the past week, sales of Manolo Blahnik shoes have increased by 500 per cent on the site - with clothing sales also taking a lead from Carrie and the girls.

Sales of tutus - inspired by the one worn by Sarah Jessica Parker in the credits for the series - have increased by 65 per cent in the past week, whilst sales of turbans - like the ones worn by the four friends when they visit Abu Dhabi in the upcoming film - have increased by 107 per cent.

"Versatility appears to be the key with the Sex and the City girl," an eBay spokesperson told us. "As there are four of them it's easy to find inspiration somewhere. The increase in sales of turbans alone shows that however outlandish SATC outfits are, people just can't wait to get the latest Carrie look. We're expecting cinemas across the country to be inundated with gaggles of stylishly dressed girls as they watch and pay homage to SATC 2 with their girlfriends."

In jewellery, personalised name necklaces in tribute to Carrie are still selling well, with gold rising by 125 per cent and silver by 120 per cent in the past week alone.
